3/19/26 - Cardz 4 Galz #272 Splash of Green - Pull Out Pocket Card

Happy Belated St. Paddy's Day! I am the hostess at Cardz 4 Galz this week and we are making card that has a splash of Green! I made a card showing just little of green for my card, but lots of greens are okay as well! I saw a really cute pull out pocket card from BrandysCards and decided to give it a try. It's also a great way to use up your DSP! I also loved that the DSP is adhered on a quarter of cardstock to make it more steady. The pocket itself can be any size. I put double sided tape so the pull-out card is a bit smaller. Give this a try and join us at the challenge.

3/16/26 - Atlantic Hearts #673 - Capturing Smiles

Happy Monday and today at Atlantic Hearts Sketch - I used this new online exclusive bundle - Capturing Smiles for the sketch. I stamped the camera in Fresh Fresia and colored it in with Stampin' Blends to make certain elements darker. The film strips are so cute, I added hearts and a small enough sentiment to fit inside. The lenses - I will have to do more research to see what the correct layering pieces are. Hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.

3/15/26 - Sparkle Challenge #198 (Spring) / The Creative Crafter (ATG) - Pop Up Petals

Happy Sunday and we are with Sparkle Challenge (spring card) & Creative Crew Challenge (ATG) for this fun pop up card. I used this really simple and quick layout and put a vase with flowers in the middle as focal point. I cut a slit to put the bouquet on the top of the bottle. I stamped another vase and flower images for the inside. The sample I saw for using this pop-up are usually horizontally but this one is for vertical. Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.
